by Bible or other Sacred Texts
Translation by Martin Luther (1483 - 1546)

Et vidi caelum apertum, et ecce equus...
Language: Latin 
Et vidi caelum apertum, et ecce equus albus,
Et qui sedebat super eum, vocabatur Fidelis et Verax,
et cum iustitia iudicat et pugnat.
Et ipse calcat torcular vini
Furoris irae Dei onnipotentis.
Et habet in vestimento et in femore suo scriptum:
Rex regum et Dominus dominantium
Alleluia! Amen!

Und ich sahe den Himmel aufgetan, und siehe
Ein weißes Pferd, und der darauf saß,
hieß treu und Wahraftig,
und richtet und streitet mit Gerechtigkeit.
Und er tritt die Kelter des Weins
Des grimmigen Zorns des allmächtigen Gottes.
Und hat einen Namen geschrieben
Auf seinem Kleide und auf seiner Hüfte also:
Ein König aller König, und ein Herr aller Herren.
Halleluja! Amen!
